I rarely take landscape images, but this was an exception. When I find a photogenic landscape, I usually discover someone else has already taken the picture and made a postcard from it. I thought, however, that I would share this Highland landscape image which I took on our recent family jaunt to Scotland.
I wish I could tell you I was able to go for a walk along that river and to the top of that hill. Alas, this picture is a phone snap that was taken during a very brief stop at a side of the road.
In fact I had to take it very quickly because the rest of the family was in the car waiting for me. I knew I only had a quick moment to take the pictures before someone, if not everyone, started whinging at me!
For me, it just has a bit of everything. There’s blue sky, sun-flare, lush green grass and even a river. It may not be a prize-winning picture, but it a lovely scene and one that brings back memories of a very enjoyable trip north of the border. I hope you enjoy the image a smuch as I do.
A quick note for any bloggers reading this. I have added this picture to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the Darren Coleshill photography blog. Follow this link to take a look.

It’s really beautiful and I love how bright the green is. I can totally relate to having someone whinging because I’ve stopped to take a photo! It’s nice to hear that it happens to other people too.
Oh it happens to us all I think Sarah! Part of being a keen photographer, yes?
The Highlands of Scotland is packed full of beautiful scenery. A great photo John even on a smartphone.
The Highlands are very photogenic, especially on a day like this. The pic was jut asking to be taken.
beautiful landscape #mysundayphoto
That is stunning!
If I say so myself, for a roadside pic it’s not too bad.
What a beautiful view. It does look like something off a postcard. x
You say the sweetest things Kim! Very ind of you.
Simply stunning, I really need to get to the Highlands soon
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
Highlands can be amazingly photogenic. This was just a quick snap. With time I could have taken something a lot better I’m sure.
Beautiful! I am glad you took the photo. #MySundayPhoto

Thanks Soina, I am a fan of the image too. it was worth making the family wait I think!
The green stands out the most to me. Lush. #MySundayPhoto
Yes, that’s Scotland for you. A very green and pleasant land. No shortage of water I guess!
My lot whinge at me none stop about everything, I don’t take any notice of them whinging. I’ve spent enough time hanging around sports pitches and airports over the years. Love how the sun’s rays are draped over the hill
Haha, I love your uncompromosing stance! I think I should adopt it too.
Wow, you take a beautiful picture.
You are very kind Jordan, thanks you for the compliment.
